I have been using Thunderbird for well over a decade and LOVE it! I do not know when this occurred and how but I have two Sent folders, one is called 'Sent' and the other is called 'Sent Messages.' Actual sent messages go to the 'Sent' folder but as both are protected folders, I cannot delete the 'Sent Messages' folder and would very much like to. Can you please tell me how to accomplish this?

Thank you, Paul

Hello,

My name is Magali, I have just installed Thunderbird 128.4.0esr (64 bits) on my Macbook Pro 2017 a week ago. I've synchronized 4 email accounts (including 3 gmail) so far, one of them is having a problem.

Everything was working fine at the beginning but at some point the emails in the inbox disappeared. They are still present in gmail.com and in the "all messages" folder (screenshot 2), but my inbox only shows the new messages (screenshot 1). But the inbox messages reappear when I add a filter "recipient = me" (screenshot 3) and disappear when the filter is empty...

Does someone know what is happening ?

Thank you ! Magali

Hi there! When I opened the thunderbird in the morning, I don't know if i clicked the wrong button, all my emails and the folder i set was gone, now it just shows the initial folder with only the emails I received today. When I use the search engine to search, it still shows a search result in which I can see the first few lines of emails I received in the past, but when I try to click into it to check details, it's empty, I couldn't see any content. What has happened and how can I fix this? Thanks in advance!

I have two different email clients I use Cox Business and the other is gmail business account. I have never been able to send out mass emails from the gmail account and mass only being about 175 users. Until this week I could send out mass email from the cox account. I get an error message from gmail that says Sending of the message failed. Your message has too many recipients. ToomanyRecipientserror 5614622812f47-3e661190b86sm3130092b6e.7 - gsmtp. The other error message I am getting from cox says. Sending of the message failed. Recipient temporarily rejected - OXSUS003_403 -https://postmaster-oxsus.vadesecure.com/outbound_error_codes/#_405. However I can send a mass email to the same recipients from my personal email from cox using thunderbird and have no issues. I would love any suggestions you may have. I would really love to solely use my gmail account and move away from the cox business account if we can get this working.

Hello,

I recently moved Thunderbird to a different Hardrive on my PC and after importing my old Profile, it only shows emails I've Replied/Forwarded to in my Sent Messages Folder.

How do I get the messages I've sent, as well as folders I've archived?

Thank you.

TB was working great until ten days to two weeks ago. Now it constantly crashes, crash reports fail to send, can't open emails, reply or forward, nothing works and then it crashes again. I have had complete virus scans, malware scans, threat scans done and none are detected. What happened? I love TB but it no longer works.

Hi Thunderbird keeps asking for my password

I followed the solution below

To stop Thunderbird from asking for password every time you send an email, do this: In Thunderbird, click Tools, Account Settings, and in left pane, click "Outgoing Server" Click Edit. Under "Security and Authentication" DESELECT "Use name and password" Click OK and again OK

However Under Securuty and Authetication I do not get the option to DESELECT and Click OK twice. But I do have authentication method where I can change from Normal password, or No Authentication, or Encrypted password....

Hope you can help What can I do? Thanks Richard

I was having some issues with emails in Thunderbird looking encrypted and I was told repairing the folder it was in could fix that. So I did that and it did fix the issue.

Then I was having issues with my sent email folder. I had emails in that folder going back to 2018 because I like to keep everything just in case I need to reference it for some reason. I email a lot and so there were probably 13-14,000 emails.

It took a day or two to repair the sent email inbox and I couldn't hardly use my email at all while that was occurring because every time I would click on something, it would take 30-40 seconds to open it.

Now, every time I send an email, my thunderbird freezes and becomes unresponsive until the email is copied into the sent email folder.

It thankfully doesn't freeze as long this time and is still usable, any help on correcting this?

My Thunderbird email app on my PC is not syncing to my IMAP email account. I delete unwanted emails using my IMAP account and yet when I open the Thunderbird app on my PC the emails I deleted are in my inbox as unread.

I am using a Mac with Big Sur (macOS Monterey Version 12.7.6), and my email is POP, using Thunderbird Version 128.4.2esr. My incoming messages are sorted in reverse order so that the latest message is listed first. I retrieve the message headers first then I either delete the message or download the contents of the message. The problem is that when I click on the download instructions Thunderbird does download the message OK, '''BUT it highlights the message just downloaded and it jumps to the next message. '''This is very annoying because in order to read the contents of the message I have to go back one message and purposely select the message just downloaded. It did not do this previously. Please correct or tell me the corrective action I should take.

In attempting to compose an email, TB does not recognize any contacts when I start typing the he first few letters of their email address nor when I try typing their name as it appears in phone contacts. First installed TB on to his new phone just a couple days ago, and my recollection is it was working fine. But then I went ahead with the Android 14 update, and after that is when TB seemingly forgot all contacts/email addresses. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling TB, but that made no difference.

Thunderbird for android is failing to synchronise data with email servers. Thunderbird for android is the exciting thing for people who prefer privacy and security as a default. But the transition from Top market email providers to thunderbird is not that smooth even after so much of testing the thunderbird android application still legs the reliability people look for a premium email client. The synchronisation with gmail and outlook servers is failing, it has to be manually synchronisation everyday or we don't get the latest emails. This is a headache for users whose work depends upon email communication and they look forward to Mozilla for a private and secure email client. Please I am a big supporter of open source and free internet but we need reliability for professional services. Please fix Regards A passionate User

On Thunderbird I am unable to send or receive messages today, getting message "Failed to connect server imap.gmail.com"

Assisting a friend - she is viewing and composing her emails from thunderbird utilising her gmail account amongst others. Occasionally clicking on the required email reveals a blank message and no attachment if there is one. This randomly happens for inbox and sent messages.

Please see images below:- 1. search result 2 & 3 selecting the required message 4. blank message as described 5. Same message directly in Gmail

Thank you in advance for any help

When I delete a message on Thunderbird Mobile, it still shows on my desktop (does not sync). Please advise the process where the messages in the mobile app is consistent with desktop. Thanks!

I'm now using your android version. I'm a bit disappointed, there's still no contact management. A contactless email program...how stupid! Are you planning to do it soon?
